    how did your remove the front grill?? i have a red 02 i want to do this too. over all i like how it came out

      Other than the obvious bolts up top it's all snap clips. Just pry carefully with a plastic trim tool. It looks good in person too honestly. Still holding up through winter. Makes them look new again!

      ThatAccordGuy yea I know about the clip pins up top but was not sure about the others if it was just a simple clip. Good to know. My chrome is wore off from the front deflector dripping water on it and like you I don’t like chrome. Just painted my exhaust tip mate black. It looks MINT

      Is the chrome piece on the grill just clips I’m trying to take off the chrome from a grill part and put it on mine

    Hows the paint holding as of now on the body plastic? Would that color black look good on a white avalanche lol

      I think black cladding on a white one looks sick! I wish mine was white haha. It's holding up great on everything but the bumpers. I think that I should have cleaned them better with denatured alcohol. People use plastic restorer on bumpers a lot and it causes the paint not to stick. Its peeling off the rear bumper only. Otherwise it's holding up great!
      My dad's truck we did the same way and it's holding up great a few years later. Little faded but still black

      I have a white 03 as well and I'm excited about painting the cladding black because Im tired of the waxing/shiner stuff fading and leaving streak marks on the body once it rains. Did you ever paint yours?

      Mostly home depot for the spray paint stuff. Or Walmart. If you want real pain supplies you'll have to find a specialty auto parts paint supplies store

      To be honest you should get a can of 2k clear. This grill didn't really hold up. It's fading and It chipped because the paint is fried. Needs to have hardener in it or it won't hold up. Figured id try it but ehhh didn't last longer than a year
